I seem to have been very busy lately, yet things still need doing?
I have yet to insulate the green house, make a new mobile hen house, to get the hens clearing the weeds ready for digging.
We have all been out at weekends either walking or biking somewhere. a couple of weekends ago we walked around the Gathurst area along the River Douglas where KK beat his distance record, the walk should have bee around 6 miles, but a few wrong turns and it ended up 9miles, not bad for a 4 year old. We stopped of at the Star Inn, Roby Mill - ealy dinners special - 2 course for £7.95, Fantastic, both quality and quantity. We will be back.
Last weekend i decided that i would make our own wedding cake for the 22nd.
With plent of help from RiverCottage forum it was decided on a traditional fruit cake. this was cooked last weekend and has spent the last 3 days in the freezer. (1 day in the freezer = 1 week maturing, so i've been told).
Saturday i will put the marzipan on and then ice on sunday. Yes i am cheating and are going to use ready rolled of both.
Yesterday i bottled both the Blackberry Whiskey and Elderberry Vodka, which both smelled wonderfull. Lets hope i can keep my hands of the whiskey for atleast a year...!
The Rowan Vodka might end up down the drain as i looks horrible and i descovered i should have frozen the berries first. always next year........
